A story of romance, action, and adventure. This novel isn't a typical post-apocalyptic story reflecting our culture and lifestyle in a future setting. Instead, it is a unique view of a very different, rather strange society with customs that are unlike our current ones. It takes place over two hundred years after civilization fell in a broken world that collapsed because of today's events. While it features many religious characters, it is not a religious book. It depicts the wickedness of brutal violence in battle scenes, along with some romantic sexuality of a fallen world set in a future that could happen.Since the dawn of humanity, people had always survived. Cultures fell, but new ones continually emerged and thrived. Humans fought wars, but they kept rebuilding after the destruction. That pattern changed in the future-everything did.
There were predictions and warnings-both spoken and written-but no one paid attention to them. As the ominous signs grew, still, no one obeyed. The unrighteous one kept everyone from seeing what was coming, even though it was obvious; he cast veils over their eyes. Not long after the final recorded year of 2040 AD, humanity faced a worldwide economic disaster of catastrophic proportions following years of street riots. Over time, human moral transgressions led to the collapse of societies worldwide. Countries turned against each other as the world became a wicked and ungodly place. More than two centuries after the last civilization fell, people lost the ability to speak-their capacity to verbalize had ended years earlier. Our future became our past-one marked by brutality and barbarism.
Guided by angels, a prophet chosen by God leads His remaining followers on an odyssey to a place of redemption. Anointed as Manhig, or Leader, he and his armies of male and female warriors are the only hope of preserving some form of civilization, where everyone must obey the laws or be forever banished into the now-wild wastelands of the countryside, overrun with destructive intruders.
Attracted to a feisty woman he cannot have and tempted by the young and beautiful, captivating yet sharp-witted and brilliant General Helen, the manhig wrestles with his inner demons-his inability to resist the lures of Satan regarding women. If he succumbs, the way of life he spent years cultivating will unfold-all will be lost.
